Australia is a land of great diversity and a national museum should reflect that diversity. The National Museum has many aspects, the First Australians feature prominantly, as they should. The discovery of the Great Southern Land is treated appropriately. The galvanised iron windmills are an icon of the Bush, no national Australian museum could ignore them. My favouite exhibition was the visiting exhibition: Ancient Greece the Greek : athletes, seamen, warriors and scholars helped shape the Western worldOne of the best tours ever! Got so much out of it.

A wonderful tour of a fantastic building giving rise to an understanding of the extensive symbolism of the building including; The Braille dots, the maps, blue poles, the suburbia swimming pool, the obscured Sorry message, the Boolean Knot as source of architectural inspiration for the internal entry space and the metal posts representing the dingo fence. Do not miss this treat, so that you have an insight into this amazing building. The building is also a photographers paradise.Buen tur. Una hora. En inglés.

I had not been to the Museum before, and this tour enhanced my visit.
